A is a pulley to be driven by a suitable belt and loosely mounted on the shaft B. Said pulley is open on one side to receive a cross arm C which is keyed to shaft B, and in which are' formed diametrically opposite radial slideways for the do D. In slots E of arm C-are pivotedell crank levers F, one arm of each lever being con- Inected to a dog D, and the other arms bein connected by links H to a sleeve G whic slides on shaft B. Said sleeve has the usual groove to receive the bifureated end of the clutch lever I. Lever I is pivoted to a fixed4 supporta indicated vat J, and operated by any suitable means, as the rod K. The dogs are normally held in engagement with the rim of pulley A by means of the helical spr-ing L disposed between cross arm C and sleeve G, so that the motion from pulley A is thus communicated to shaft B. To release the clutch, rod K is moved to the left of Fig. 2, vthus withdrawing said dogs from said rim.

Ashere shown, the dogs engage with'rini projections or teeth M. If simply frictional` engagement is desired, said teeth; may be omitted. p

We claim: f

A clutch mechanism, comprising a shaft, a pulley loose thereon and o n on one side, a cross army within said pu ley, having its hub fast on said shaft and having a radial slide-way and an opening between said slideway and said hub, a dog in said slide-way, a sliding collar on' said shaft, a bell-crank lever pivoted at its angle in said cross arm opening and having one arm pivoted to said` dog, and a link pivoted at one end to theI other arm of said bell-crank lever and at the other end to said collargwhereby when said collar tis operated said dog is moved into or out of engagement with the rim of said pulley. l

In testimonywhereof we have aixed our .signatures in presence of two witnesses.
